Miss Bramble and the Leviathan by Kristen Painter Released today

Blurb and "warning":

The last thing she planned to steal was his heart.

The Company. Military institution, protector of Praeton and the nation of Grand
Isle. Dirty rotten thief.

When Pandora Bramble steps aboard the Company’s premiere airship Daedalus it’s
not for the exclusive VIP tour. It’s to secure proof that the Company stole the
regulator valve her father designed—even if it means tearing the engine apart.
Foiled by the unexpected appearance of a handsome crew member, she despairs of
ever getting another chance—until he kisses her.

Captain Theolonius Hatch, sentenced to engine room duty for refusing to take
part in the Company’s fleet week activities, never dreamed a woman like Pandora
existed. Her brains match her beauty, a combination that adds up to more
trouble than he ever expected.

As Pandora allows Theolonius to sweep her into a whirlwind courtship, her
wildest dreams come true. As do her greatest fears, leaving her to decide what
matters most. Loyalty…or love.

The clock is ticking.

Warning: This book contains airships, mechanical owls, women who are good with
tools, men in and out of uniform, steam generated by engines and people, and
some hot carriage scenes.
